Chicago Downs New York, 5-2
The Chicago Cubs dealt the New York Mets a 5-2 loss at Citi Field. Isaac Powell, who is tied for 4th in the NL with a .545 slugging percentage, was the star on offense. He was 2-2 with 2 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs. Chicago is now 65-59, while New York is 46-80.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Shino Kawai to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

Chicago manager Maller Smith praised his team's "businesslike approach."
